HITCHINS CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS Filed 001:. 29', 1942 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Inventor 7 William George michins By I my, rby Attorneys Patented Dec. 26, 1944 PATEN T OFFICE CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS William George Hitchins, London, England Application October 29, 1942, Serial No. 463,788 In Great Britain October 22, 1941 2 Claims.
This invention relates to the construction of buildings and is directed towards the construction of buildings at low'cost, and greater speed than is possible in building by traditional meth-' ods.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a framework for a building comprising posts consisting of metal cores enclosed in timber casing and transverse beams connected to said posts.
Another object is to provide a framework in which the vertical frame members or posts are erected in sockets left in the concrete slab foundation of th building; these sockets may be provided\b rthenware or concrete tube cast in the site concrete; the tubes or rods project beyond the casing at the bottom and these are preferably grouted in after the posts andother frame members have been plumbed up.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel combinations and processes set out in the claims which follow. 7
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate one embodiment of the invention,
Fig. 1 shows in.perspective a portion of one construction of a building erected according to the invention,
Fig. 2 is a detail view in perspective showing posts and beams separated prior to assembly,
Fig. 3 shows the construction of the building prior to the erection of the framing walls and roof.
Referring to these figures the framing of the building consists of posts I and cross beams 2 into which run longitudinal beams 2i.
The posts have central metal cores 3 in the form of steel rods or tubes covered by timber; the timber parts are in halves 4 with groovestherein to fit the cores 3' and are preferably clamped around. the cores and glued together.
The beams 2, 2 have metal cores 5 similarly secured near the bottoms thereof and the beams 2 have clamp sockets 6 fitted thereto to receive the projecting ends of the cores 6 which act as dowels and the upper projecting ends of the post cores 3.
The lower portions of the post cores 3 fit loosely into sockets Ill cast into concrete walls ll built on concrete footings l2 and passing through the surface concrete I3; the sockets are conveniently formed by earthenware tubes such as are commonly called agricultural drain pipes. When the framing of posts and cross beams has been erected and plumbed up cement mortar is poured into the sockets to secure the lower projecting cores 3 securely in P sition.
The preferred method of constructinga building according to the invention is first to lay the foundations ll, l2 and surface concrete. If the building is to have a brick chimney I this is then erected.
Pipe and conduits for domestic services, water,
sanitation, electricity and gas (when available) are then fitted and the tanks, sanitary fittings, stoves and the like are then fixed in position.
The framing is then erected and the walls, roof and partitions then erectedbetween the frame members.
The walls and partitions are preferably as described and claimed in my co-pending application No. 463,789.
.As illustrated in Fig. 1 they comprise wall slabs B with grooves 9 in upper and lower surfaces. Dowels l4 fit in these grooves and enter holes I 5 in the sides of the posts I.
Window frames i6 aresimilarly fitted and cover fillets I! cover the vertical Joints between slabs and posts.
The building illustrated has a fiat roof l8 and the posts I extend above the roof to form a parapet I9. A cornice 20 and guttering 2| are secured to the beams 2 I The fioor consists of plywood flooring 22 'laid between floor beams 23 secured to the surface concrete 13 by the aid of dovetail fillets cast 3 therein.
Internal partitions are formed of slabs 28 which are preferably constructed and fixed similarly to the wall slabs.
I claim:
1. A- framework for a building having in combination posts consisting of metal cores enclosed in timber casing, said cores extending at the bottom beyond the casing and engaging sockets in footing walls supported by the building foundations, and transverse beams connected to said posts.
2. A framework fora building including structural elements each consisting of a metal rod and a timber casing, said casing consisting of a plurality of parts each of which is grooved to receive the rod, the ends of said rod projecting beyond said casing, one group of said structural elements arranged at an angle to another group
